Appellant, the defendant below, challenges the validity of a default judgment that was entered against it. Although invalidity is asserted on several grounds, we need only address one of the points raised by appellant — i.e., whether the judgment was void because it was based upon a premature clerk's default. Because we agree that the clerk's default was premature and a nullity, we vacate the default judgment that was subsequently entered. See Overholser v. Overstreet,383 So.2d 953 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980); Turner v. Allen,389 So.2d 686 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980);

MINER, WEBSTER and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
